Not done. Day 21 is monday

Bottom tray (closest to the heated air outlet) is almost half way done hatching. Top tray is all pipped, but no zips. I figure ill find a bunch of chicks by morning.

Well i needed some more barred rocks. All but one of mine are dead. And i only have 2 white leghorns left and i really like them!




We should have lots of black sex links, maybe one or two buff Orpington, some rir, and a BUNCH of crosses between rir, bo, white leghorn, and ee. Should make for colorful cartons or eggs

A rir and bo roosters. Hens are barred rock, black sexlink, buff orpington, easter egger, white leghorn, rir, and crosses of the rest.

I also enjoy having some BR in my flock. Of course Doms are also a winner. Both breeds produce wonderful BSL. Can't do a flock w/o EE. And, I'm enjoying my Buck Eyes. You're further south (I think) so comb size does not matter as much to you as it does to me.

Corn and potatoes are coming up. Garlic id doingbvery well!
